How to End Back and Neck Pain?

The most common health problems facing Americans these days is back and neck pain. Lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle can take a serious toll on people’s physical health, leading to muscles and joints becoming taut and painful. Some accidental trauma and rigorous activities may also damage delicate tissues, causing immense pain.

While most of these conditions can be treated with medications and physical therapy, there are a few spinal disorders that require orthopedic or neurosurgical spine surgery. This is where our top spine surgeon Manhattan, Dr. Harrison Mu at Queens Crossing Neurosurgery comes into play. Don’t worry if you are experiencing neck or back pain, and conventional treatments have failed to reap effective results.

It’s the personalized and individualized approach to spinal treatment that sets Dr. Harrison Mu apart from many others in the Tri-State Area of New York City.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to spine surgery. Dr. Harrison Mu will recommend surgery only if your condition requires it. Among the surgery procedures we have performed are:

  • Discectomy: This procedure involves the removal of the herniated disc that is pressing on the spinal nerves and causing pain.
  • Laminectomy: This procedure removes the entire lamina (the posterior portion of the vertebra that forms the “roof” of the spinal canal).
  • Laminotomy: This procedure involves partial removal of the lamina. It can be performed to relieve pressure on nerves and in case of a herniated disc to remove the disc.
  • Corpectomy: This procedure involves the removal of the entire or part of a vertebral body.
  • Foraminotomy: This procedure is done to widen the foraminal space, which creates room for the smooth exit of the pinched nerve from the spinal canal.
  • Spinal Fusion: This procedure involves fixating two or more vertebrae together to reduce pressure and increase stability. Instruments like plates, screws, rods and so on are used in this procedure.
